Do I Need To Be On Stock Radio For i9020A in Order To Update To 2.3.6? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know it messes up the connectivity. Received the OTA update but it failed to Install... Im on stock everything besides the radio..

what do you mean messes up the connectivity? the tethering issue has been fixed with the latest update if that's what you mean. yes you would need the stock radio and recovery. the update will fail if you aren't on stock everything. just flash the 2.3.4 radio and stock recovery if you're on cwm. you should update fine after that

Well I downloaded the the stock rom of 2.3.3 from rom manager... everything was cool... then I got the 2.3.6 update... it was 98 MB and I pressed install =_= my cellular connectivity is home again

You have modified something in /system. OTA's will fail when something in the file system is modified.

Is there a way to revert back to MR2 from newest GB build

Im not rooted, and I'm using the newest GB build. I would like to go back to MR2, is there a way to do this? The RUU i tried does not work, it won't let me go to an older firmware.
I believe you have to be rooted to go back to a older firmware.

I updated to official stock my was rooted and I had ICS 4.04 leak ucle2, it might make a difference from where you are upgrading. Sometimes you have to do a wipe. I did not do it, cache, all my data was safe. I suggest you to read what is your specific rom if you have one. They say this sammobile works with all roms.

[Q] stock recovery

Im on ota from the first leak. Then i flashed the scv7 without making a backup. I downloaded an app that allows you to manipulate the radio and now my texting doesnt work. I normally would fxz back but i don't think there is one for the second leak or ota. If i load into stock recovery and reset to factory will that bring it back to stock ot back to scv7 without a launcher like it would if i reset to factory in a custom recovery

Hate to say it man but I think you're hosed. Factory reset will not fix your text issue.
You need to fxz back but you CANNOT as we don't have an ICS fxz.
Time to get a replacement.

No. It will only wipe user data, and the radio modifications would either be system or radio.img modifications.

This is exactly what we were warning everyone about - IF YOU WANT TO ROOT AND MOD YOUR PHONE ON ICS, STAY ON THE FIRST LEAK ONLY! There is no safety net fxz for anything higher than leak#1 yet. (Sorry, for the caps lock, but it wasn't directed only at you.)
Can you boot into custom recovery (probably not, from the sound of it)? Not sure what and how bad things are messed up, but you can't re-install the OTA through stock recovery.. I don't suppose you made a system.img before this happened? If you can't get into custom recovery, then your only hopes at this point is to flash something with moto-fastboot in AP Fastboot mode - i.e. system.img and/or radio.img - but, that probably won't help unless they are images from your own phone.
Yea everything works but the text messaging . I actually flashed the multilingual stock thinking it would fix but it didn't.

Yea, like I said man. Unfortunately, we have no way of fixing your issue right now. You need a replacement phone.

No Signal

I had the non us version of the nexus s. It was stuck on 2.3.3. I dont recall where i got the update( I downloaded one from one of the threads on xda as there was no update available whenever I checked for ota) but I flashed it with 2.3.6. After that I received notifications for ics 4.0 then after applying that ota I got one for 4.0.4 I believe then one for jelly bean 4.1.2. Though all the updates went fine now I dont get signal on any network. When I look for manual network search it shows unknown network found and I cant connect. Could this be because I might have flashed a cdma version? If so how can i go back to stock 4.1.2 for the gsm model?

I will try it in a a few days as my cuz took the phone to a different city. Just a quick question should I go back to 2.3.3 stock? Or 4.1.2?

It's a preferred thing. I personally would go with ics, while a few swear that gb is faster & stable

Weird that's happening in stock. I'm not sure if the links are still working (I'm sure you can find them in here somewhere) but have you considered returning to stock using odin (no root, no custom recovery) and rerooting to see if that'll fix it?

yes i know it's strange, it doesn't happen on jb roms since those are the only ones i've tested on the phone. i wanted to get that crt enabled 2.3.6 but those links aren't working anymore, which is why i had to migrate to jb, i still want to get back to GB but the links aren't working
if anyone can help me grab the stock crt enabled 2.3.6 gb rom i would be extremely grateful
